CRT Troubleshooting (Presenter: Andrew D. Krahn, MD, FHRS)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses a case of a patient with heart failure and the evaluation and management of her care. The patient is a 78-year-old woman with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and mild to moderate mitral regurgitation. She undergoes evaluation and treatment for her heart failure, including diuresis and medication adjustment. After a month, she undergoes a cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRTD) implantation, but still experiences symptoms of shortness of breath and hiccups. The video discusses the optimization of the CRTD settings, including testing for phrenic nerve stimulation and programming adjustments. It also highlights the importance of managing atrial fibrillation and addressing other potential contributing factors to heart failure. The presenter emphasizes the need for a holistic approach and regular evaluation to ensure the patient's care is optimized.
